I actually got mine from the PE guy who ran the program, but after Popular Electronics discontinued giving them out. He changed the prefix from WPE to WDX. I had a certificate for WDX8KVS. I wonder what happened to that....oh well, still have all the QSL cards from those listening days. Too bad there are hardly any broadcast SW stations now.

Yes, I was (am) WPE9IGS. Those were fun times when the shortwave broadcast bands were full of stations from all over the world. I was a regular subscriber to Popular Electronics back then. I still have my framed WPE certificate proudly displayed on my wall.
